The topic of human origin and evolution is an extremely fascinating field of study for many scientists such as anthropologists, paleontologists, archaeologists, theologians, and geneticists. It has also captivated the general public for thousands of years. Since ancient times, humans have sought to answer frequently asked questions, such as: What is my biological origin? Where do humans come from? Who are my ancestors?
Modern genetics can partly answer these fundamental questions thanks to recent DNA research involving anatomically modern humans. These studies provide valuable evidence about the historical and prehistoric past of humanity. This evidence is just as reliable as archaeological and paleontological findings, as DNA is inherited, essentially unchanged, from our ancestors to present-day human populations.
This book aims to combine history, archaeology, linguistics, anthropology, paleontology, and even mythology, with the modern field of molecular genetics to support or challenge theories regarding the genetic origins of the Greeks.
